DESCRIPTION:
But she can't make sense of Darcy. Darcy is determined to find Elizabeth. To protect that secret, Elizabeth must disappear entirely, leaving her family and Darcy behind, to plunge herself into the dizzying world of fashionable London and the dangers of the Loyalist Resistance. And Elizabeth Bennet despises all traitors. And how can she despise a man who loves puppies? Something about him doesn't add up - and she finds him far too attractive. Six years after Napoleon's invasion of England. He risks his own safety to save young women from the French. He even admits to collaborating with Napoleon's troops. Fitzwilliam Darcy is a traitor. Then Darcy's carefully constructed world crumbles, and he must entrust his closest-held secret to Elizabeth. He doesn't act like a traitor. Nothing will ever be the same again. Pride & Prejudice meets alternate history. Now that she knows the truth about him, there's nothing to keep them apart - nothing, that is, until the day Darcy is forced to choose between his country and the life of the woman he loves.
"I'd give this about 10 stars if I could!" according to Debbie B.. This is just a fabulous and unique Pride and Prejudice variation. There's lots of adventure and romance and intrigue leading to lots of nail-biting for the reader.England has fallen to the French under Napoleon, so it's a very different Meryton as the story opens. Most of the English residents are miserable under the French rule. Lydia and Kitty aren't; Lydia has already married a French officer, and Kitty is similarity attracted to men in uniform, regardless of their nat. "Tense drama in both the romance and history taking place" according to S. L. Majczan. Mon dieu! This story takes your breath away. Tears, sighs and some bit of laughter. For me this is the best of tales from a favorite author. Not only does she give us a romance which undergoes the harshest of trials but also gives us a creative history for England and the people living during that made up time of occupation by the French. Those who read the first chapters as a WIP will find that there is so much more depth and surprises in the rest of the story.I absolute. Best Variation I've Ever Read (Out of Over 100) JCousteau AMAZING!!!I could not put this book down! Literally, read the entire thing in one go, it was that good!Our usual villains- Caroline, Wickham, Lady Catherine - are barely mentioned, and not at all missed in the momentum of the story, which is not at all lacking in angst and struggle for ODC.I love stories that build to a final climax where everything hits the fan all at once, and this one certainly does not disappoint in that regard. The pace is fantastic, there are no dul
